Happy New Year and welcome 2017!

First, allow me to apologize for letting this blog slide for so long. I have been busy writing, just not here. This is my first resolution to change and what I want to discuss with you.

Every new year folks come up with all manner of promises and resolutions. Many last a few months, but most only last about two or three weeks. I’ve been bad at follow through, I confess. I promise and then life distracts, writing distracts, people divert and pretty soon I have forgotten and dust collects. I always resolve to do better and no,I don’t expect anyone to believe me at this juncture. But I’ve changed. Attitudes, plans, style…and only showing you will demonstrate!

Change is what the future is all about and why we try to make resolutions. But sometimes the future is change enough all by itself. The past holds us down (or in place), but the future is fluid, changeable, unwritten, unknown, overflowing with possibilities and promises. The future brings all and we don’t actually need to exert promises because the very nature of “the future” is going to do that for us. We are just too untrusting and impatient to believe in it, so we fill the air and our hearts with wishes and expectations. Most of the time this leads to letdowns. I’m not going to do that to myself or to you.

I believe in the future, despite the heartaches of the past, the disappointments, the trials, the deaths, the hate and fear, the sense of loss and confusion. I believe in it so much that I came back here with determination and hope because I believe in the future. You’ll see soon enough. The future promises that you’ll see more of me and often. Just wait and see. I’m excited!

Right now, please allow me to thank you for supporting me over the past year. I published two books – two!  – The Book of Now (nonfiction poetry), and Breaking the Glass Slipper (fictional memoir). I hope you’ll choose to read one of them and let me know what you think. In the future, I’m going to be talking about the how and whys of each book and maybe inspire you to write your own.

As for the future of 2017 — look forward to books about vampires! Yes the Evening Bower Saga begins this year! You’ll see more of our friend Drahomira as well as Rhea, Jean-Louis, Destin, and so many others!

So we’re looking to the future now. It will bring changes. Stay tuned to see how those unfold. And I will promise you one thing — you’ll like what you discover!  Keep an eye to the Press and Media page for information on upcoming signings, along with links to radio interviews and guest blogging (I’m working on updates now and will have them up in a day or two).

On behalf of my vampires who are anxious to come out and play, I wish you a VERY Happy New Year. Now lean in…my vampires want a New Year’s Kiss….

And I remain, as always,
Yours Between the Lines,
Sherry
